The bald eagle is the symbol of the American Government. The can
be seen on the Great Seal of the United States, on the Presidential Seal, on coins
and paper , and on postage stamps. Bald eagles have a
head and tail, dark brown body and wings, and beak, feet, and
eyes. The feathers are all brown for the first several years of their life. The name
‘bald eagle’ does not mean that this bird has no feathers. It comes from the word
piebald, which refers to the eagle’s light and dark coloured feathers. This
, majestic bird can only be found in North America.
